Operation of the OGC Agriculture Domain Working Group (DWG) will follow the policies and procedures of the Technical Committee.

1. Key Activities. The DWG will focus on the following activities:1. Reviewing the current LandXML schema and determining how best to continue to support the existing users and engage with them.2. Assessing the current industry support for the LandXML schema and whether multiple, incompatible versions of the schema have evolved.3. Investigating how to best incorporate LandXML into the OGC standards framework, including identifying places where there may be common elements in existing standards such as CityGML.4. Investigating the possibility of moving the LandXML schema into LandGML.

Goal of this Working Group is to clarify the role of time as a first-class alignment concept next to space, and to strive for a handling of time which is coherent and integrated with that of space. As the issue of time in CRSs is an overarching one across all OGC, the WG will seek to include background from as many OGC stakeholder groups and WGs as possible.

To this end, the Temporal DWG is open to participation by both non-members and members and is intended to be a public forum for communication, and both the temporal [at] lists [dot] opengeospatial [dot] org (mailing list) and the group Twiki are open to interested parties.
